Just 24 Hours to Support Rookery Bay!

We have been challenged, and now YOU have been, too!

Friends of Rookery Bay is participating in Give Where You Live Collier.

We have 24 hours – from noon on Wednesday, Feb. 21 to noon on Thursday, Feb. 22 – to raise as much money as possible… and earn match dollars on top of that!

Give Where You Live Collier is a county-wide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy for nonprofit agencies like Friends of Rookery Bay. Donations will be amplified with $500,000 in matching funds from the Community Foundation of Collier County and the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Just 38 charities were selected, and they will each earn a proportional share of the foundation dollars based on how much they raise. Proceeds will benefit our environmental education programs and field trips for 4th and 7th graders.
